Just sold something for <£100 on ebay. Asked for payment by cheque or Postal Orders. Buyer has just sent me an email to say they have sent me a Bankers Draft today.
Just rung my Bank to find out how I tell it's a Bankers Draft and whether it is a dodgy one because I know it's quite easy to fake them.
They said to go into my local branch and let them have a look although he's not sure whether they can really tell until it's been presented.
So, should I email the buyer and tell them that I'll still give this cheque 7 working days to clear?
Reason I'm so worried is that they have only bought a few items in the last couple of months and one of them has a negative from the seller saying this person has defrauded them.
